It was at the Shell servo at Laverton, but I don't know any of its history!

Fleetwings, I used to visit it often. I’m pretty sure that it has been restored and flying now.

There are a lot more, but most of them are covered in dust - require cleaning and rescanning. All require editing to some degree.
